Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a save-the-date and an invitation?
A save-the-date is sent early and only announces the date and city, so guests can block the time and book travel; the formal invitation comes later with full time, venue and RSVP details.
How far ahead should I send it?
Typically 6–8 months before the wedding; for destination weddings or far-traveling guests, send 8–12 months out.
Can I share the image online?
Yes. Exports are clean and watermark-free — send by email or messaging, or post it as a digital announcement.
